| dc.description.abstract | We show, by using a dispersion relation with parameters taken from experimental data, that a single layer of a negative index material has omnidirectional reflection properties. In the range between the electric plasma frequency and the magnetic plasma frequency, the refractive index is close to zero and the negative index materials reflect radiation for all angles of incidence and polarization with reflectivities of 99%. In addition, with increasing angles of incidence, the reflecting band does not shift in frequency but actually widens. The operational bandwidth can be 100% or greater by increasing the separation between the electric and magnetic plasma frequencies. | en |
